Exploring the Use of Digital Educational Tools for Sexual and Reproductive Health in Sub-Saharan Africa: Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adolescents, particularly those in Sub-Saharan Africa, experience major challenges in getting accurate and comprehensive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information because of sociocultural norms, stigma, and limited SRH educational resources. Digital educational tools, leveraging the widespread use of mobile phones and internet connectivity, present a promising avenue to overcome these barriers and enhance SRH education among adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Objective

We conducted a systematic review to describe (1) the geographic and demographic distributions (designated objectives 1a and 1b, respectively, given their interrelatedness) and (2) the types and relevant impacts of digital educational tools (objective 2).

Methods

We followed the PRISMA
